I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates-Chapter 394 - 392: Underworld Mud Flesh 1
Chapter 394: Chapter 392: Underworld Mud Flesh 1
After a while, while Lu Xuan and the others were searching inside the dark red passage, the Demonic Vine quietly drilled out from the dark red spirit soil and returned to Lu Xuan’s robe.
On the gray vine, eighteen deep green seedlings the size of little fingers were inlaid.
Not bad, not bad, you’ve done very well. Once we leave the Blessed Land, I’ll reward you with some spiritual fruit to taste.”
Lu Xuan quietly praised the Demonic Vine.
It was not surprising that the Demonic Vine, with its keen sense of spiritual seeds, found the Thousand Worm Seedlings in that area. What was remarkable was that it managed to bring back all the seeds intact without Lu Xuan’s supervision.
The vine was resigned to the temptation of having its favourite food and delivered all the seeds honestly to Lu Xuan, which was praiseworthy. Eighteen Thousand Worm Seedlings, even if I can only set up a simple formation, it’s not bad.”
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly, following behind the group, venturing deeper into the dark red passage.
“Huh? What’s this?”
Under the dim light, a Foundation Establishment Late-term Fellow Disciple, who caught a long, slim, black-red Insect Beast that quickly flew out from the darkness, exclaimed.
The black-red Insect Beast looked as if it was pulled out of a heap of rotten meat, its sight was somewhat nauseating and it exuded a strong Yin Qi, constantly emitting a foul, polluted breath towards the cultivator.
Fortunately, its attack power was not very strong, standing between Perfect Qi Training and Foundation Establishment First-term, it was easily handled by the Foundation Establishment Late-term Fellow Disciple.
Only that they were in large quantities, causing a disturbance.
Lu Xuan noticed that these black-red rotten meat insect beasts had come out of a dark spirit loam. The spirit loam faintly had a decaying flesh smell.
As he passed the dark spirit loam, his spiritual sense keenly detected a change in Yin Qi. He turned his palm crystal clear, coated it with a thick layer of spiritual power, and caught a black-red insect that sneakily attacked him.
Before crushing it, he forcibly infused it with a dose of spiritual power, getting detailed information about the black-red insect beast.
[Flesh Eater Insects, third-grade insect beasts, prefer to stay in Underworld Mud Flesh, allowing the flesh-smell in the spirit soil to nourish themselves. They have a strong possessiveness and like to devour the spiritual seeds in Underworld Mud Flesh, can refine them into special Gu worms.]
[Underworld Mud Flesh, ordinary spirit soil, after years of strong flesh and blood influence, change into this special spirit soil, sealed with abundant flesh spiritual power, can be used to cultivate certain special spiritual plants.] [Normally, spiritual plants growing in Underworld Mud Flesh over time will be influenced by the flesh inside and have a high probability of mutating and even growing flesh parts.]
“Underworld Mud Flesh?”
Lu Xuan glanced at the dark spirit soil near his foot, which aroused his interest.
He squatted down to take a closer look at the spirit soil.
With the constant nourishment of the Divine Essence Scroll, his spiritual sense had improved rapidly. He could keenly detect in the depths of the spirit soil, resembling a dry meat mud, a wicked flesh energy was looming. After getting close to the spirit soil for a while, his calves developed a faint itchy feeling, as if some tiny flesh buds were trying to squeeze out of the skin surface.
“Sealed with flesh spiritual power… this Underworld Mud Flesh Spirit Loam is indeed peculiar.”
“However, this piece of spirit soil is infested with Flesh Eater Insects, it’s unlikely to grow other spiritual plants.”
A faint spiritual light appeared on Lu Xuan’s leg, cleansing the wicked aura.
“What, Junior Brother Lu, have you found something?”
A Foundation Establishment Late-term middle-aged cultivator came over curiously when he noticed Lu Xuan staying still for a long time.
“This piece of spirit soil is strange, I couldn’t help but take a few more glances.”
Lu Xuan deflected casually.
“Oh? This gloomy soil is actually spirit soil? No wonder it breeds those strange insect beasts.”
The middle-aged cultivator drew closer.
Lu Xuan generously made way, not minding the middle-aged cultivator’s actions.
With his expertise in the field of spiritual plants, he could only identify the strange Underworld Mud Flesh with the help of external tools, he didn’t believe that this foundation establishment late-term fellow disciple could see anything out of the ordinary.
Junior Brother Li, when did you become interested in Spirit Soil?” Under-aged cultivator had just squatted down, noticing the fire scale child who quickly came over to Lu Xuan’s side, his tone was somewhat mocking.
“Just looking, just looking.”
Seeing a disciple from the Authentic Teachings, the middle-aged cultivator immediately lost his curiosity and left in a huff.
“Junior Brother Lu, are you interested in this odd spirit soil?”
The Fire Scale Child asked curiously.
Thanks to Elder Brother Huo for speaking for me.”
Lu Xuan fist bumped his chest to the fire-red child as a show of gratitude.
“Going back to your question, Elder Brother, I am indeed interested in this special spirit soil, I want to take some back to the sect and try giving it an experimental study.”
“If Junior Brother Lu is interested then take all the Spirit Soil back with you.”
The Fire Scale child spoke in an undeniably domineering tone.
“Is this appropriate?”
After all, the large-scale exploratory operation of the blessed land was organized by the Core Formation master, and precious treasures found in the Blessed Land could not be casually claimed but must be reported back to the sect.
“I still have the authority to do this.”
Fire Scale Child said indifferently.
‘Moreover, Junior Brother you played a significant role in the exploration and opening of the Blessed Land, perhaps even more than us three authentic disciples. This is just some spirit soil, not precious treasures, and its properties are strange and wicked, it’s not anything good. Only disciples like you, who are so passionate about spirit plants, are interested in possessing it.”
So, even if Junior Brother Lu, you take away all this strange Spirit Soil, Golden
Pellet Elder Uncle will not have any objections.”
During the process of opening this Blessed Land, Lu Xuan emerged as the front-runner in the sect’s research of mutant spiritual plants, leading far ahead of other Spirit Plant Masters.
When he was specially invited into the Blessed Land, he leveraged his understanding of mutant spiritual plants, traded many valuable spiritual plant species from two other sects, researched the aura of Tusilin, thus enabling the Sky Sword Sect to progress faster than the other two sects, and as a result, obtained a large amount of cultivation resources.
In addition, when a group of Sky Sword Sect cultivators encountered many mutant spiritual plants capable of staging attacks, it was Lu Xuan who proposed a solution, easily solving a significant problem.
Throughout the whole process of opening the Blessed Land, it can be said that
Lu Xuan had made tremendous contributions.
“Then I won’t be overly courteous.”
Lu Xuan took out a container with a large capacity from his storage bag, swept all the Underworld Mud Flesh into it, then sealed it up with Sealing Spirit, Demon Expelling Symbols, and put it back in his storage bag.
Occasionally, a fellow disciple would pass by, seeing this scenario, all of them turned a blind eye and hurriedly departed.

“However, one thing I must remind Junior Brother Lu of, this spirit soil looks extremely wicked. If you want to experiment with it, you have to be cautious lest other normal spirit plants planted by you get contaminated and turn into different spiritual plants.”
There was a hint of seriousness on Fire Scale Child’s juvenile face.
“Thank you Elder Brother Huo for your well-intentioned reminder, I will certainly avoid this situation.”
Lu Xuan revealed an innocent and harmless smile.
“As long as I use this Underworld Mud Flesh to cultivate Underworld Spiritual Plants, then there’s no need to worry about spiritual plants being contaminated and changed.”
He added silently in his heart.
